My copy got a lot of play during pandemic lockdown, and people kept asking me where they could get a copy. I look forward to spreading the news.

As to types of posts... More followup and elaboration on your twitter content. I find it very taxing and ineffective to try to engage with the people in the comment threads there, and have wished for a more discourse/forum-like environment where people want to discuss the things you post about. Comments on a more-active Substack would be one potential such place.

Is there any news or update about the matchmaking/dating site you were considering making? I recall reading an ACX grants summary about it a while ago.

Yesterday, I battle-tested a deck. It was a great success.

I think the blog without discussion becomes much less interesting, and it seems for posts where you're selling the open comment section is quite effective at giving you reviews/encouraging purchases.

I think all the comments should be open.

Question for you Aella (or anyone): How do you stay open talking about sex and sexual topics, while also maintaining friends who aren't comfortable with such conversation for whatever reason? I ask because I was recently having a discussion with friends (who are more conservative/libertarian) and the topic of sex work came up, and I suggested that they check out your writing to show that you don't have to be 'woke' to be pro-sex work. But I think I made a few of them uncomfortable by even suggesting that they follow someone who talks about sex often on twitter. I don't want to hurt their values or (Catholic) views, but I also think they'd benefit from an open mind and I also don't want to censor myself around them.
